Neowin: NewerTech Wireless Aluminum Keypad review

There is something notably absent when you purchase any Apple computing product. Whether it is a Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro or Mac Mini - their included keyboards all lack a proper numeric keypad. In fact, Apple doesn't even make or sell a wireless 10-key pad separately.

Luckily, NewerTech has recognized the opportunity and filled the gap with the 'Wireless Aluminum Keypad'. While there are plenty of wireless 10-key solutions available, NewerTech has created something that could be part of Apple's official accessory line. The Wireless Aluminum Keypad has been carefully crafted to match Apple's design aesthetic and while the NewerTech Wireless Aluminum Keypad looks the part, does it live up to the quality of Apple?

The design of the Wireless Aluminum Keypad is probably one of the most important aspects of this product. Since 2011, Apple has transitioned from using plastics in the majority of its products to embracing metal. In 2015, all of Apple's products with the exception of the Mac Pro, share a similar design and aesthetic. In order to create something unique, NewerTech has done their best to try and create a product that will compliment your existing Apple products.
